Lion Park, Gauteng

Image by George M. Groutas
The Lion Park was first established in November 1966 by the world famous Chipperfields Circus. It is conveniently situated in the middle of the Gauteng-Tshwane complex and the climate is typical of the Highveld and thus ideal for indigenous Highveld fauna. Hence, most of the indigenous animals that are seen at the Lion Park are quite at home.

The Lion Park is neither a game reserve nor a zoo. It has been split into two areas – one area for the herbivores such as zebra, giraffe, and various plains antelope and other grass-eating animals, and the other area for the carnivores. The herbivores roam freely around the area and visitors are able to view the animals at close proximity at any time.

In a zoo in Johannesburg in South Africa there is a very special lion. His name is Triton, he is eleven years old and he likes playing soccer.
Once you throw a ball into his enclosure he will go crazy chasing the ball inside the enclosure. He even follows the ball into the water!
Although he is sharing his enclosure with seven female lions, he is playing soccer alone and doesn’t play with them together.
